It's so much easier to put music on it than it was to dub CD's to tape to use with the old tape player I inherited off my sister.<BR/><BR/>It's not so much the trendiness of the new toy that makes me happy... It's the activity the new toy lets me do that I enjoy.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674111951791932227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442903.post-21918155009449766712007-05-23T13:02:00.000+12:002007-05-23T13:02:00.000+12:00εὐδαιμονία comes to mind.<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudaimonia" REL="nofollow">εὐδαιμονία</A> comes to mind.erahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782131296865723421noreply@blogger.com
